WASHINGTON TIMES
— Bob Dole, ex-Kansas senator, Senate Republican leader and presidential nominee, dies at 98 – James Varney (DIERSEN: Dole walked in Wheaton’s 1996 Independence Day Parade with Edgar and Dole spoke at a rally in Wheaton’s Memorial Park right after the parade. I camcorded his speech. Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs have always vehemently opposed Republican participation in Wheaton’s Independence Day parades. I should write a book about that vehement opposition since 1978. I would focus on those Democrats, Libertarians, Greens, Independents, and RINOs who succeeded in stopping Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks.)

NEW YORK TIMES
— JUNE 9, 2017 FLASHBACK: Stop and Acknowledge How Much Luck Has to Do With Your Success – Carl Richards (COMMENT: What do you assert was bad luck and not your fault? All during the almost 30 years that I worked for the federal government, my superiors were under tremendous pressure from Democrat politicians to get rid of their employees who were Republican, and especially those who were White, male, older, and/or non-veteran. In 1997, when I was 49 years old, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing me to take their early retirement “offer.” In 1987, my Democrat GAO superiors succeeded in forcing my GAO mentor to retire; he had hired me in 1980, got me assigned to audits of IRS in 1986, and promoted me to GS-13, currently $102,188/year in 1986. In 1981, Charles Bowsher took over GAO and ran it for the next 15 years. Under Bowsher, GAO shrank dramatically and is now just a shell of what it once was. I suffered a 21% ($20,361/year) pay cut in today’s dollars to transfer from IRS to GAO in 1980. In 1975, my Democrat IRS superiors succeeded in forcing my IRS mentor to transfer to Texas; he had promoted me to GS-9 in 1972, to GS-11 in 1973, and to GS-12, currently $85,935/year, in 1974. Republican losses in Illinois, DuPage County, Milton Township, and Wheaton increased dramatically since I a) became a Republican Precinct Committeeman in 1999, b) served as the Milton Township Republican Organization webmaster 2000-2004 and 2008-2010, c) served as an Illinois Center Right Coalition Steering member 2003-2007, d) served as a Wheaton Chamber of Commerce Government Affairs Committee member 2003-2011, e) served as the TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois chairman 2005-2012, and f) raised funds from DuPage Republicans 2005-2019 so that DuPage Republicans could help sponsor Wheaton’s Independence Day parades and fireworks. Ever-increasingly those who move into my precinct are Democrats. My wife and I have fertility problems serious enough to stop us from having children.)

BIZ PAC REVIEW
— Media increasingly portray patriotism as negative and ‘right-wing’ in decades since 9/11 – Jon Dougherty (COMMENT: I should write a book about those who succeeded in stopping Republicans from helping sponsor Wheaton’s 2021 Independence Day parade and fireworks. I would focus on a) leaders of the Wheaton Park District, Wheaton Chamber of Commerce, Wheaton, Milton Township, DuPage County, and Illinois, b) leaders of the Milton Township Republican Organization, DuPage County Republican Central Committee, and Illinois Republican Party, and c) Republican candidates on ballots in my precinct, their political consultants, major donors, fundraisers, pollsters, campaign managers, campaign staff members, and campaign volunteers.)

They hint/imply/argue/shout a) that I included links in my newsletters to articles that caused them to lose, b) that I rigged Milton Township Republican Organization and TAPROOT Republicans of Illinois straw polls that caused them to lose, and c) that I recklessly, if not intentionally, leaked confidential campaign secrets to their opponents that caused them to lose. Better yet, instead of just writing a book about the aforesaid, I should sue the aforesaid.)

https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/09/03/game-on-former-amex-employee-files-detailed-lawsuit-alleging-he-was-terminated-because-hes-white-1129155/
(FROM THE ARTICLE: A former employee of financial powerhouse American Express has filed a lawsuit against his former company alleging he was terminated because he is white and because he said he opposed as racist the corporate “diversity” policy of increasing the number of non-white staffers. Christopher Rufo, a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute who has published a great deal of research involving the corporate spread of “critical race theory” policies, wrote on Twitter that the former AmEx employee, Brian Netzel, was inspired to file suit based on his reporting.)

My father had died suddenly in 1969 and potential employers did not believe that my financial hardship draft deferment application would be approved. The job did not really require a college degree. Constructively, I was the store’s salesman. The Firestone Stores Chicago District Office hired me. I asked to be assigned to the Chicago Heights store because I lived with my mother and brother in Crete. My Chicago Heights Firestone Store manager would not have hired me. Sadly, he disapproved of my following demographics: Republican, draft avoider, German American, and Missouri Synod Lutheran. He refused to let me start until I passed a probationary period working for the Firestone Store in Gary. After I had worked for him for 7 months, he rudely fired me when I gave him my 2-week notice that I had accepted a job offer from Oldsmobile.)
